Undergraduate Mentoring
It is paramount for students to gain practical experience and learn the rigors of conducting and presenting scientific research with faculty. I view my role as a research mentor as one of my highest priorities and one of my greatest assets. My mentoring is tailored for each student to the largest extent possible by asking what their current goals, aspirations, and what they hope to gain from the experience.
Below are some examples of mentoring I have provided, as well as presentations from students.
